OT Testing the waters: ISO of size 7 3/4 fedora, preferably gray or light brown. On a budget if at all possible...

[Charlie MacNeil, SASS #48580]

I've been jonesin' for a fedora for a while. After seeing Utah Bob's fedora discoveries posted on Facebook, I got to wondering if any of you fine pards who hang out in these parts might happen to have a fedora in reasonable shape lolling about that you no longer wear. The biggest problem, so to speak, is sizing. I need a hat in the  7 3/4 or slightly larger size area, which makes such a thing kind of difficult to locate. So just on the off chance that any of you Wire denizens might happen to have such a thing languishing in captivity, I'm posting the question here: anybody got a gray or light brown fedora, size 7 3/4 or slightly larger, with a wider (3ish inch?) brim in reasonable condition you would part with? Holler if ya do, please, and we'll discuss it. 

 

Thanks!

I used to hang out sometimes at a place called the Fedora Chronicles. Is that the same place?

I don't think so, I've been a member there for at least 10 years and always been the Lounge.

Never mind, I answered my own question with a quick search. Can't seem to get the Fedora Lounge to open, though.

I figured it was a long shot, gents. Thanks for the replies, but I do believe that we're done with this here thread!
